Lightening Hair with lemon juice?

Question

I have natural black hair and i want to use lemon juice to just lighten it to like a brown. But i've heard from many people now that it will just turn a nasty orange, is that true because i'm not ging for blonde but a brown colour.

Answer 1

you can fry your hair doing it. believe me its not worth it.  

Answer 2

well black hair with lemon juice?>

ithink it would come out like a brownish blackish color?

its more better with light hair;]

Answer 3

It might lighten you hair, but not in a good way. Dont try it unless you are prepared for anything.

I know people who have had it work but they have dark blonde hair and made their hair lighter.

Good luck if you go for it.

Answer 4

I have a very very dark brown hair that almost is black.

Sun in will work good in your hair.

This is how mine turned out

Answer 5

For natural black hair you would be much better off forgetting about the lemon juice and just putting some highlights in, loreal is my favorite brand to use and can be found at any drug store/discount store!  

Answer 6

yeahhh it helps lighten it and if you do it alot the its gonna get blond try it once with a little then if you like it put more and more if you dont like how it turns out you could always dye it

I've tried that once n it worked for me.. My hair natural hair color is dark brown n after I applied lemon juice on it n left it for a couple of minutes...it lightened up a bit...it added more visible brown on my hair

I guess it depends on your hair type...mines a semi-wavy Latino hair but not that thick...I think it only works if u have a less thick hair compared to those that has thick ones...

I tried the cranberry juice too ... It added some red highlights...but I didnt liked it...

i have light brown hair and i am gonna try that, but i don't think it will work for you, sorry hun.
